The time has long past for the majority in this society to tell these relatively few but vocal charlatans to shut the hell up and start working for it like everyone else - the price has been paid in extremis - you owe us!

Big time BUMP!

it ain't the caboose that kills ya, it's the locomotive

in this case, the caboose is the colonies, the locomotive is the black tribesmen who captured and sold into slavery their own brothers.

I think that those who actually captured the tribesman were of varying ethnicity, arab, african and later european, but the muslims got the ball rolling.

America's moral outrage destroyed, once and for all, the underpinnings of slavery worldwide. There is simply no historical equivalent, anywhere in the world, to the effort that has been made to address the wrongs of slavery in the United States.

Solid points elsewhere, however we must give credit where credit is due. It was not the U.S. that did this, it was the British Empire. It was they who used their military and political clout to drag the rest of the world (kicking and screaming in the case of many slave trading states: both sellers and buyers)to end slavery as a world wide institution. If reparations are due, the check should be made out to the British.

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

He is absolutely right! He points out some statistics that I alluded to in my piece, "Reparations: TANSTAAFL."

What's even funnier about the whole reparations arguement is that most of black America doesn't realize that the lawsuits and handwringing and complaining and all are not targeted at "helping" individuals receive "what they are owed," but rather to help fatten the coffers of the warlords.

Well as long as I am around, I'll make sure that as many people know about the fleecing of America as is possible....

I've always read that slaves were captured by warring tribes, and then sold to outsiders. I suspect that outsiders, not knowing the lay of the land, would have a hard time just walking up to African villages and snatching people up.

You are partly correct- many slaves were captured by warring tribes and a very tiny percentage were captured by Europeans. However, the overwhelming majority were sold into slavery by their own tribal leaders. But since there's no money to be had from Africa, it makes more sense to blame whitey.

but the muslims got the ball rolling.

And they were the last to ban it. Slavery was legal in Saudi Arabia until 1964, and although it's officially illegal in Sudan the Islamist regime there tacitly condones the practice.

Mayer has it exactly correct, and this type of "correction" on the fallacy which is perpetuated by the civil rights whores needs to be repeated at every opporutunity.

It's interesting to note the religious influence in the area.
Is this what the this religion would impose on America,if the opportunity presented itself?
